| J.S. Elcano 1:250 scale |
Every year when winter approaches and the rain starts falling, I start building model boats. It keeps my hand steady and me day dreaming of the days of old square riggers and majestic clippers.
The one I am busy with currently was a present from the wife and is a 1:250 scale relica of the J.S. Elcano that was launched in 1927 at Cadiz. It was a Spanish Navy training vessel and was capable of 15knts. She was 94.13 meter and could carry 36 Officers, 143 Sailor trainees and 70 marines.
This model has many small bits and pieces and very, VERY tiny intrinsic rigging work, so hopefully I will finish before the summer time.
